Going to Switzerland, Italy, Austria, need affordable reliable (and affordable) eSIM
Our take
Going to Switzerland, Italy and Austria this year. was thinking of getting a Europe region esim instead of individual ones. Been looking esim providers on esimdb. it's a great site but the prices vary dramatically. I'm looking for something around 20 - 30GB for 17 days. I was looking at esimfly.net their 20GB for around $9.00 USD for 30 days and seems to cover the countries I'm visiting. Are they reliable? There isn't many reviews of them. Their pricing seems extremely affordable compared to others where they go for $15+ for the same amount of data and days.
Then there is the other recommended ones I read here in the esims subreddit, such as Airalo, Ubigi, which are way more expensive. I've used Airalo in Japan last year, it worked great and for Japan it was a decent price, but for Europe, it's expensive.
What are some of the reliable and affordable providers that folks have used?
Also, since this will be my first trip to Europe, what are your opinions on getting a phone number? I have WhatsApp, it seems to be the go to messaging app over there. is a phone # necessary?

- How do eSims work (affordability not technically)I understand how an eSIM works, my questions is as follows. How does a travel eSIM country get the ridiculously cheap rates for travel? I've got an upcoming trip to Europe, and on a whim I wanted to check to see what rates for Canada would look like. Universally, the price / gigabyte is cheaper for one of these travel eSIM country than what I can get from my provider (or competition). If a company has an agreement with a local provider, how does it determine which provider to connect to to get that rate? submitted by /u/kortekickass [link] [comments]
- I’m totally lost on e Sims. Please help!I’m American traveling to EU/UK (itinerary below), and I need an e SIM, I guess? I’ve always just paid the $100 to AT&T when I go abroad, but I keep seeing that e SIMs are the way. I’ve read a lot about them, but I’m still lost. Would an e SIM or the international plan be better for this trip? How do you determine how many gigs you need? Do you purchase GB per country? I suppose I can live without iMessage or phone calls since we use WhatsApp anyway… London : 30 April - 2 May Eurostar > Paris : 2 May - 5 May Flight > Florence, Livorno, Rome : 5 May - 14 May 15 days total, 3 countries submitted by /u/misshollydawn [link] [comments]
